Joshua "Josh" Michael Richardson is an American professional basketball player who is currently playing for the Miami Heat in the NBA. In his 8 year career, Richardson has established himself as a reliable two-way player off the bench, capable of excelling in multiple positions, including point guard, shooting guard, and small forward.

Born on September 15, 1993, Richardson played college ball at the University of Tennessee where he enjoyed success, showcasing his versatile talent and defensive instincts. In the 2015 NBA draft, Richardson was selected with the 40th overall pick by the Miami Heat, marking the beginning of his professional basketball journey.

After facing typical rookie adjustments in his first two seasons, Richardson's breakout came during the 2017-18 season when he started 81 games and averaged 12.9 points per game. The following season, he continued his impressive performances, averaging 16.6 points per game on a 41.2% field goal percentage.

In 2019, Richardson became part of a monumental trade involving Jimmy Butler. Richardson was traded from Miami to Philadelphia. This trade was a pivotal moment in Richardson's career as injuries hindered his performance after the trade, leading to stints with Boston, Dallas, and San Antonio.

After having a journeyman career from 2019 to 2023, Richardson's journey came full circle in 2023 when he returned to Miami, the team that originally drafted him. In the 2023-2024 NBA season, Richardson is averaging 10 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game.
